I have been convinced that the innovative ability of many women, but if we do not program their church, they will gradually become an outsider, disqualified change the world.

No matter where in the world, science and technology there are more serious sex ratio imbalance. According to the report released by UNESCO in 2017, only about 35% of female students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics related fields in the higher education.

The field of computer science in the lack of participation of women and girls that have conclusive evidence: in the 1980s, when the main objective even though sales of personal computers is a boy, there are still areas of expertise than it is now more equal gender. 37% of the undergraduate degree in computer science in 1984 was awarded the women; that figure dropped to 18% in 2014. According to 2015 data, Facebook's technical staff only 16% were female, Google is only 18%.
It is estimated that in the United States only 56 percent of possession teachers think school program should be mandatory, but every four schools still only a professor programming. All of these statistics and percentages show that even ordinary people can see the problem. Now finally we arrived when we do something for it, and the girls advocate began studying computer science.
The power of example
from a historical perspective, there is no lack of women has been well-known mathematician, early programmers work is mainly held by women: the world's first programmer Ada Davis Love Lace is a woman; the first definition bug programmer Grace Hopper is also a woman; compiled the world's first general purpose computer, ENIAC and the deployment is composed of six female teams of scientists together to create ...

Zhang Qixia is one of China's first generation of female programmers in one of the most outstanding disciples Soviet experts 什米格列夫 Sharansky. Of China's first artificial satellite ground tracking, the main program is from her handwriting. In 1963, she and co-Zhushu Xia, Cao Dongqi preparation of the "utility design" is a Chinese software first book publication.

在国内，阿里巴巴、腾讯等一线互联网科技公司中的核心研发岗位上，女性技术人员也牢牢占有一席之地，发挥自己的能力，你还有什么理由不让自己的女孩学编程呢？
女孩也有学编程优势
美国的研究人员分析了开源项目网站Github里约140万用户编程习惯的资料。他们发现女性提出的请求代码合并通过率比男性更高，为78.6%，而男性提出来的仅74.6%。
除此之外，女孩在编程行业上还有很多得天独厚的优势，比如说善于沟通，更能领会开发需求；在工作上比较细心，比男生更细腻，做事更周全；创造力更强等等。
在其他行业，可能会有性别歧视的现象，但在“唯实力至上”的互联网编程行业，几乎少见。自身能力过硬，女程序员在顶尖领域就能取得不亚于男程序员的成就。
学编程有什么好处
1.培养严谨的逻辑思维
编程是一种技能，但更重要的是一种用编程思维处理问题。编程体系有着非常严密的逻辑，影响着每个人的思维能力和思考方式，在编程中学会这种思考方式对孩子看待问题以及处理问题都有着重要的指引作用。
2.与传统学科知识融合
根据 STEAM 教育理念，编程课的学习，使孩子的逻辑思维、数学理解、英语兴趣、物理学习、动手能力和创造力都会有不同程度的提高。整体提升孩子的数字素养，培养信息意识，形成学科融合的能力。

3.激发内在学习动力
内在驱动力是指孩子们被学习活动本身激发而不是外部的奖励。要激发内在学习动力有两个要素:
第一，学习的内容与学生的生活关联性强;
第二，孩子具有主导性。在编程学习中，学生们不再是完成练习题，而是 " 我要做一款自己想要的产品 ， 解决生活中的一个问题 "。
4.塑造果敢坚强的性格
Girls usually relatively weak, but we just need bold strength of character to gain a foothold in the community. The program requires care and patience by the science and engineering education, the emergence of the phenomenon of failure, as long as careful analysis, carefully think there is always a solution. Just to cultivate calm observation and analytical skills girls, soft but just shaping their temperament.
What can we do
now that we need to do, perhaps, is to give the girls more opportunities to reach out to the programming and the girls begin to learn in this regard.
The girls in the learning process, often ask the question "Why do we use programming tools are boys favorite color, no girls like." This allows us to realize original programming at the heart of education practitioners or partial masculine, often ignoring the girls will be habitual preferences.

We have to make some changes to the girls from the root, so the series from Rain and rainbow series design, programming space ™ are used in a series of neutral or rich orange color of the rainbow, boys and girls are applicable, even in the style of software and hardware on the packaging, like the girls can choose pink or blue, to enhance interest in learning.

When we look carefully, careful attention when the girls will find girls and boys in science and technology capacity and no difference, only to be excluded, "the girl is not suitable to study science," the traditional concept. So programming space ™ willing to do something for the girls to learn programming and firmly believe that: girls have unlimited potential!
